Finálny!!! I waited for this video for sooo long tíme. Everything you told I was thinking from begining. No new cranks needed is most important part here.
Yea, I do the same and it works very nicely. I wanted the xx sl cranks because they can be ordered with 168mm q-factor (0 offset chainring) and when used with a regular dub BB, you can still achieve the 55mm CL. Thank goodness.
Hi, I wanna do the same. I have Scott Spark RC 2924 with NX setup. And I want to uograde to T-type deralieur with Eagle X0 drive train(cranks, chain and casette). Is it possible? Really is it works?One thing, I am not serviceman that I am not sure with choose of crankset. Actual NX cranks have Q factor 174, and frame of Spark have PF92. I am not sure about lenght of spindle. Can you help mi?
Love your videos!!! I like to Mix & Match my components too! Very good combinations from my tests so far: Eagle Cassette + Shimano XT / XTR Derailleur + Eagle Chain + Eagle Crank Transmission Cassette + Transmission Derailleur + T-Type Chain + Eagle Crank Eagle Cassette + Eagle (AXS) Derailleur + Eagle Chain + T-Type Crank
I have no issues with using a t-type cassette with an old gx derailer on a udh frame. Requires a 3mm spacer between the cassette and the udh hanger.you can machine this piece. Flawless shifting on load.
Damn, that’s a great idea. But of course makes totally sense, the cassette is worn a bit, a chain with larger rollers can engage the worn cassette better. Thanks for the tip!
On my "grind miles on it" hardtail - I have a very worn X01 cassette - A flat top chain bought me more months of grind on it - I had nothing to loose and a leftover chain so I figured I would try it. It changed the engagement point on the cassette teeth just enough to buy me another few months. It runs tight and never "skips" when torqueing it. . . . I'd like to say it feels like it does not shift as cleanly as a standard chain ? That could also be the extreme wear. . . . Either way - thanks for the info ! I love watching others experiment so I don't have to !
Thanks for sharing! Your worn shift ramps with a narrower chain - more trouble than before shifting. Glad to hear that bigger rollers halp on the worn cassette.
I really don't feel like spending all the money to go up to transmission for my e-bike, but I really want to keep using SRAM components, and I've been thinking about using a flattop e-bike rated chain on my regular old Eagle drivetrain. Thanks for checking it out.
@@LoveMTB I have, and all other things being equal I'd just run Shimano mechanical. The XTR chain in particular I've heard amazing things about, and it's e-bike rated. The reason I want to keep using SRAM is that I have three other bikes with SRAM Eagle 'train and I'd really like to maintain compatibility across the fleet, for now at least.
I just installed the AXS T-type derailleur on my Eagle drivetrain. I used a new Eagle chain and I put a spacer in behind the cogs. I found it works great! What I had to mess with was the spacer sizing. I found that the shifting was off just enough that the microshift adjustment wasn't enough. It was a little laggy around gears 4-5, even at the #12 position of microshift. I ended up using a 1.5mm spacer and that seemed to work. I've ridden it a handful of times and found that while riding on the trail the shifting was better than on the stand or in the parking lot. So far, so good! I'll upgrade chain, cogset and chainring as they wear. Bike is 2023 Ibis Ripmo V2S.
The reason I did this, btw, was to use the old AXS Eagle derailleur on my mullet gravel bike. I upgraded the shifting for that setup, too. I am now fully AXS shifting on both mountain and gravel. No going back!
@@LoveMTB The precise shifting and ease of dialing in the adjustments. Also less cables creates a cleaner look. Biggest minus is keeping track of battery charging.
I have been driving various combinations for more than a year. Old cassette and chain, with new X0 derailleur, and drive with Absoluteblak sprocket, that combination does not shift well under load (I have a 1mm washer), new cassette, derailleur and chain with Absoluteblak sprockets works great, even with the old chain.
all I did was to order a bare GX T-Type Derailleur, and used all my AXS old version set up, I just Added a 1.5mm spacer in the driver and set my micro adjustments at 13 and everything works very smooth. Then Ill be replacing parts to T-Type as the time comes!!!
@@LoveMTB the biggest thing is no dealing with derailleur hangers, I was spending too much time checking if the hanger was straight all the time, also constant adjustment when other components start to wearing down. Im actually looking forward for the new cable actuated T-type system that is supposed to be coming soon, dealing with batteries is the downside of the system from my point of view.
I use GX Eagle chain ring , 12 speed GX grip shift ( 2 speed grip shift for the dropper !!! ) NX cassette with black T-type chain and Finish Line ceramic wet lube , absolute phenomenal system
Good video! I think for me changing the cranks to the GX T type from the original is still a good swap weight is a big deal to me talking in grams lol.. I just wanna update the group said as much as I can because a lot has changed so again just doing as much as I can. I really like the new cranks from the GX up to the XO as for the cassette, I’ll just buy a newer eagle cassette. It works perfectly fine and to top it off get the upgraded Axs and I think that would be a pretty good set up. Your videos are awesome. I really appreciate it.
I'm a 15%er! Awesome comparison and one that should really help a lot of people. I will say that the spacer behind an Eagle cassette is a hard no go for me. I'm still on X01 AXS and have been kicking around trying a T-type chain with it but am too chicken because of the roller size differences, but maybe I'll give it a go on Old Greenie with its Garbaruk cassette and chainring and see what happens.🤔
Welcome back my friend!😉 It's not just the rollers...the fact that it is narrower can cause premature wear on the shift ramps of the old cassette so not good reasons to do it. My 0.02...
Good to know my T Type rail 9 has already eaten a t type cassette and chain at 400 miles. I think the bike was setup improperly by trek dealer tho. not sure
you could probably use the XDR hub body with the spacer and you would have plenty of engagement on the threads. Much like you would with a mullet setup on a gravel bike that uses the XDR hub and the 10-52 cassette. You have to run a spacer on that and it works perfectly.
@@LoveMTB Isn't the XDR hub wider than the XD? I was thinking with the additional width and the spacer, that would push it out a few mm's. Don't have a XD driver, so will have to bow to your knowledge since I have not been able to test it.
I was thinking the same. Has anyone tried it though? I would love to run a transmission derailleur on my gravelbike. I use a mullet eagle set-up and like it very much. I am not too intrigued into the new 13 speed xplr gravel setup although one gear more is fine but I don't see much use in spending it on a 46 tooth cog. Thanks
@@martinadamboon6254 as long as your gravel bike has udh you can. There are online bike shops that sell t type gx eagle mullet group sets for gravelbines. There are also you tube videos on them too.

I had a AXS xo trasmission with the xs1295 cassette and I broke I cog. Seen the price difference with the xg 1275 gx eagle I decided to go with the 1275.(200€ difference) And the shifting isn’t right!

It's possible since the chain it's smaller in all dimensions but rollers. But that also means that the overall cassette is worn so your shift ramps. Narrower chain doesn't help much with that...
To my knowledge flattop chain has been common/the recommended from SRAM in their road and gravel groupsets for a while. Even with "mullet" setups, which, in that world is not 29" + 27,5" wheels, but MTB derailleur and cassette with gravel/road crankset/chainset and chain. These are not homebrew setups, but something you'll see from the factory of various bike manufacturers. So I think flattop should be good on Eagle.
Hi - so would a gx fat 5 crank - pg-1230 cassette - gx axs t-type derailleur - gx t-type flat top chain work together ? I got 5 wheelsets all with HG….thanks for the videos and the good explanations:-) happy trails
I'm running an xt drivetrain w a xo axs (non t-type)derailleur it works great for the last 3 years . (but is on its last legs now) MY QUESTION - I wanna put xo t-type, chain, derailleur and cassette (yes I know I need XD) but I want to keep using my xt 165mm cranks w power meter of possible.... does anyone make a ttype compatible chain ring I can install on a shimano direct mount crankarm. (I really don't wanna have to replace BB and buy a new power meter if I can avoid it !)
@@LoveMTBwhat end result? The only cross compatibility that provides a benefit. Old mechanical with T-Type cassette & chain (as that’s where the magic is).
I have a super boost, XO one crank set and bottom bracket that I want to use with a T type chain a T type cassette and a T type derailer. Will this work. I do know that the super boost plus crank it sets up a chain line of 56.5 mm. Would I need to move the spacers on the crank and bottom bracket to 1.5 mm in board. Love your videos btw! Very detailed
What about new t-type cranks and old eagle? This would be interesting since the powermeter options (especially the X0) are pricewise kind of interesting (around 400 € (X0) vs around 800 (XX1 Quarq) here in germany).
Using the new cranks in an old Eagle here - ruclips.net/video/svBzTVScOxc/видео.html As long as you're fine with the 55mm chainline or can adjust with spacers. Check my vid on DUB vs DUB wide BBs
I run old cranks with 8-bolt interface (meant for power meter chainring) with new "T-type" (hate that stwopid naming) 8-bolt chainring and rest are old 12 speed components
@@jackliang6061 XX "t-type" 3 mm offset. BTW: I have also cranks with DUB wide axle which is around 5 mm longer and I do not recommend using DUB Wide - you can usually fit 3 mm offset chainring no problem and if you have problem you can use 0 mm offset. Wide axle means more spacers and it is dumb solution
@ it should fit. My chainline is 52 mm I’m mounting 3mm offset GX T-type chainring on the old Eagle 8 bolt power meter boost cranks(without the Quarq).
@@LoveMTB Yes? I think about combination. Cranks XX1 SL, rear der. GX AXS T-Type, XX1 casete and GX Eagle chain. What you mean about it, please. Thank you.
So it’s funny you posted this video. I actually just recently had to service my eagle GX and wanted to get the 5dev oval chain ring. I took it to my local shop and they said because they sent me a T-Type it’s not compatible but 5Dev told me it was 100% compatible so I’m probably just gonna pop that chain ring on there. I just have to make sure I have the spacers the same correct?
@ I was worried I was gonna have to send it back I’m glad I don’t it’s a beautiful piece of work. I would say much higher quality than the absolute black when it comes to the metal quality
I have a super boost, XO one crank set and bottom bracket that I want to use with a T type chain a T type cassette and a T type derailer. Will this work.

@@smithandshortdogs I run Shramano with the old AXS check out my installation video. And you don’t have 2mm extra on that lock ring on the Shimano…or the 10t cog
What about on Onyx hubs they already require you to put a spacer behind the cassette because they use the road XD driver. I just ordered the new transmission GX derailer I want to run it with my Onyx hub wheel set. Will this work? Using my order eagle XX one cassette?
Very cool! Can you try shimano 12 speed with transmission? I've been running eagle axs with shimano 12 speed stuff for years currently and its been working great.
I have it here, all that's worth considering for now - ruclips.net/video/_V83_bMeHgQ/видео.html If not Whelltop can be an option - ruclips.net/video/03500Y6DW6w/видео.html
@@LoveMTB Your first video got me to run the gx axis with shimano 12 speed. I've seen comments on reddit about people getting shimano 12 speed working with transmission with a spacer but like with the XD casettee. I was worried about thread engagement but on the lock ring and was thinking it might take having a custom lock ring machined.
"Vechiul" eagle...axs. Nu vad rostul pretului pentru T type, insa lantul flat top imi place. Bun review ! Multumim din nou. De data asta am scris in romana...:)
As new t type cassette is 2.5 mm more outboard in regard to old eagle cassettes gravel and road cassettes with xdr drivers should work theoretically (on drop bar bikes) as xdr is 2.5 mm more outboard in regard to XD drivers. Has anyone tried it? Thanks
there is no cassette mapping in mech software,it didnt know where are ramps cose no sensor on the cassette to position it .. older cassette shifts same way ,i am using it over an year already in paralel with new one on 2 sets of wheels .. and you didnt need 1.8mm spacer for the old one ,0,8mm is enough
@@LoveMTB there is benefits ,but not with shifting itself as its the same mechanism like older Sram Eagle AXS .. removing hanger makes things stiffer and it shifts better under load ,new cassette steps are better too ,bigger rollers - dont know ,maybe has some advantage .. but waiting for the ramps to shift - this is all marketing as it shifts instant when button pressed ,even without rear wheel installed .. about the spacer - its custom made ,and i picked the width so i can change the wheels without microadjust every time
People keep mixing parts that really do not work CORRECTLY together. Then, they have problems and wonder why or criticize the system they are using. Wake up folks! Do it right, or don't bother.
The wheel will spin, the chain will stay on the cassette, yes. But similar to XD driver that Micro Spline was designed pretty tight there is no 2 mm slop in the assembly for the extra 2mm spacer
@ well. How is working on video is without modification but its on limit - no possibility to make micro adjustment. After I have modified end cup - I have grinding off 1.5mm what gave me nice window for adjustment. Since April everything works very well. I am using this Shimano XT cassette because I am using it with 7 chains. I am changing chain every 600km. Cassette have currently 5700km. All chains are still OK. After I will scrap XT cassette I will instal SRAM again.
that cassette with a spacer seems like a baaddd idea. i was never sure that those threads were enough engagement on that sram design anyway, and taking away half of those threads with a spacer is begging for something awful to happen. think of how deep the threads were on the body of a freewheel hub. and those were often 13-24 on a road bike!
I asked Absolute Black if they are going to make a Transmission chain ring for Race Face Cinch. The reply I got was : ''unfortunately yes there are no plans for adding that setup. Sorry for the bad news there.'' I don't know why they don't offer that. Maybe they don't see an market for it yet. First I asked if the Cinch Narrow Wide was compatible, I suspected it wasn't but here is the answer: '', Hi there. unfortunately that ring is not compatible with sram flattop chains. Sorry for the bad news there. ''
This is all fine and dandy and I’m not being a jerk but if you look at the new transmissions, they designed to work under load with all these modifications and going to cheap man route you’re going to destroy something…😂 I can shift going uphill under full load and it’s very smooth I would not try this mixing hardware.. also why are you risking your warranty on anything really. I don’t know. I just seem to think that things are designed to work the way that they’re designed to work.
I've been trying things like this for the last 6 years or so, check my older videos on 12 speed. One is here - GX AXS install (with a twist) - ruclips.net/video/_V83_bMeHgQ/видео.html I do not suggest anyone doing it but you see in the comments that a lot of people try it.
Most of these are dumb, no benefit to running these combinations. But in an offhand 5 second comment you said the most important thing without knowing it; that unfortunately you can’t use a Transmission cassette with UDH. If you could then a X01 mechanical could be run with Transmission cassette and chain. The cassette/chain interface is what makes Transmission shift so well.
You can sand 2.5mm off the inside face of the UDH (from the portions that don't contact anything anyways). That creates enough clearance for the transmission small cog & chain. Just did this, works great!
@@emailsucks98 you mention it works great. I read in some places that the mechanical derailleur movement during shifting does not align very well with the t-type cassette gear spacing. what's you experience?

I'm running an xt drivetrain w a xo axs (non t-type)derailleur it works great for the last 3 years . (but is on its last legs now)
MY QUESTION - I wanna put xo t-type, chain, derailleur and cassette (yes I know I need XD) but I want to keep using my xt 165mm cranks w power meter of possible.... does anyone make a ttype compatible chain ring I can install on a shimano direct mount crankarm. (I really don't wanna have to replace BB and buy a new power meter if I can avoid it !)
If i remember correctly, there is a thick plastic coating on UDH, that can be trimmed to fit new cassettes
It's all metal...and you would go through that for what end result? 🙄
@@LoveMTBwhat end result? The only cross compatibility that provides a benefit. Old mechanical with T-Type cassette & chain (as that’s where the magic is).
Will the t-type cassette work with a bike that runs a quick release system that has hub with an xd drive freebody?
No same as the example here on the cassette
I have a super boost, XO one crank set and bottom bracket that I want to use with a T type chain a T type cassette and a T type derailer. Will this work. I do know that the super boost plus crank it sets up a chain line of 56.5 mm. Would I need to move the spacers on the crank and bottom bracket to 1.5 mm in board.
Love your videos btw! Very detailed
Take a look at my recent video on DUB vs DUB wide BBs for details
@ I have and it doesn’t answer the question that I’m posing.
What about new t-type cranks and old eagle? This would be interesting since the powermeter options (especially the X0) are pricewise kind of interesting (around 400 € (X0) vs around 800 (XX1 Quarq) here in germany).
Using the new cranks in an old Eagle here - ruclips.net/video/svBzTVScOxc/видео.html
As long as you're fine with the 55mm chainline or can adjust with spacers. Check my vid on DUB vs DUB wide BBs
@@LoveMTB thank you. will have a look :)
I run old cranks with 8-bolt interface (meant for power meter chainring) with new "T-type" (hate that stwopid naming) 8-bolt chainring and rest are old 12 speed components
I hear you 😊
What chainring are you using? New t type 8 bold chainrings with 0 or 3mm offset?
@@jackliang6061 XX "t-type" 3 mm offset. BTW: I have also cranks with DUB wide axle which is around 5 mm longer and I do not recommend using DUB Wide - you can usually fit 3 mm offset chainring no problem and if you have problem you can use 0 mm offset. Wide axle means more spacers and it is dumb solution
@ it should fit. My chainline is 52 mm I’m mounting 3mm offset GX T-type chainring on the old Eagle 8 bolt power meter boost cranks(without the Quarq).
Question is, work T-type rear deraillieur with eagle chain?
@@philophil1961 what about it?
@@LoveMTBIf is possible to mix T-Type rear derailleur with eagle X01/XX1 set. Witch chain have to use. T-Type or Eagle? Try this anybody?
@@philophil1961 derailleur doesn’t dictate the chain, chainring and cassette are important
@@LoveMTB Yes? I think about combination. Cranks XX1 SL, rear der. GX AXS T-Type, XX1 casete and GX Eagle chain. What you mean about it, please. Thank you.
So it’s funny you posted this video. I actually just recently had to service my eagle GX and wanted to get the 5dev oval chain ring. I took it to my local shop and they said because they sent me a T-Type it’s not compatible but 5Dev told me it was 100% compatible so I’m probably just gonna pop that chain ring on there. I just have to make sure I have the spacers the same correct?
It will work just fine and feel free to play with the spacers as you wish to adjust the chainline 😉
@ I was worried I was gonna have to send it back I’m glad I don’t it’s a beautiful piece of work. I would say much higher quality than the absolute black when it comes to the metal quality
Here is a video idea.... Using the above method with the cassette spacer.... can you get Transmission to work with a Shimano cassette and chain ?
In my WIP pile…😊
How about mix with Garbaruk gravel crankset ?
XDR driver is 1.85mm longer... wonder if it would work with the spacer a bit better
It would need 2 spacers to push the cassette out 1.85 mm
@LoveMTB maybe, but it might then allow the nylon bushing on the front of the cassette to be supported better
@@josh573a no it won't be any different than what you saw here with the standard XD driver
I have a super boost, XO one crank set and bottom bracket that I want to use with a T type chain a T type cassette and a T type derailer. Will this work. I do know that the super boost plus crank it sets up a chain line of 56.5 mm. Would I need to move the spacers on the crank and bottom bracket to 1.5 mm in board.
So can you run Sramano? Microspline casette with a 2mm spacer?
@@smithandshortdogs I run Shramano with the old AXS check out my installation video. And you don’t have 2mm extra on that lock ring on the Shimano…or the 10t cog
What about on Onyx hubs they already require you to put a spacer behind the cassette because they use the road XD driver. I just ordered the new transmission GX derailer I want to run it with my Onyx hub wheel set. Will this work? Using my order eagle XX one cassette?
Same issues as described here you would gust go for 2 spacers
Very cool! Can you try shimano 12 speed with transmission? I've been running eagle axs with shimano 12 speed stuff for years currently and its been working great.
I have it here, all that's worth considering for now - ruclips.net/video/_V83_bMeHgQ/видео.html
If not Whelltop can be an option - ruclips.net/video/03500Y6DW6w/видео.html
@@LoveMTB Your first video got me to run the gx axis with shimano 12 speed. I've seen comments on reddit about people getting shimano 12 speed working with transmission with a spacer but like with the XD casettee. I was worried about thread engagement but on the lock ring and was thinking it might take having a custom lock ring machined.
Where do I find this 2mm spacer?
Se puede usar un casette t type en un pasador xx1 axs viejo? Con la cadena t type??
interesting point is to use T-Type chain with worn out Eagle cassettes. Bigger rollers should feel worn out tooth better
but narrower chain on worn out shift ramps might be the end of that cassette sooner than otherwise. So compromises...
What about running a Shimano cassette wheel with T-Type
I replied before with more details, it won't work. But you can get Wheeltop and make it work just fine with a Shimano cassette
Have you tried with a Shimano cassette?
If is it true, so can I use Eagle(GX, X01, XX1) cranks, chain and casette with T-Type derailleur? Really? It will be great.
"Vechiul" eagle...axs. Nu vad rostul pretului pentru T type, insa lantul flat top imi place. Bun review ! Multumim din nou. De data asta am scris in romana...:)
:) cu placere. Ce iti place la lantul flat top?
can old eagle derailleur use t type cassette?
as you see in the video....😉
Do you have a new logo?
And I thought I could hide it till I do my year in review vid 😊
@ 🤐
Thanks
Welcome
i want to know if you can pair GX mechanical wilth dropbar shiter from sram or shimano
Google ratio technology components
As new t type cassette is 2.5 mm more outboard in regard to old eagle cassettes gravel and road cassettes with xdr drivers should work theoretically (on drop bar bikes) as xdr is 2.5 mm more outboard in regard to XD drivers. Has anyone tried it? Thanks
@@martinadamboon6254 got to get my hands on a XDR driver to try but you might be correct!?
@LoveMTB let us know!
@ will do. Don’t think it’s going to make a difference though, just saying. Would prob need 2 spacers to start with etc. Will let you know
there is no cassette mapping in mech software,it didnt know where are ramps cose no sensor on the cassette to position it .. older cassette shifts same way ,i am using it over an year already in paralel with new one on 2 sets of wheels .. and you didnt need 1.8mm spacer for the old one ,0,8mm is enough
Good to know. What's the lure of T-Type then if shifting is the same?🙄
And where did you get a 0.8 mm spacer for the freehub?
@@LoveMTB there is benefits ,but not with shifting itself as its the same mechanism like older Sram Eagle AXS .. removing hanger makes things stiffer and it shifts better under load ,new cassette steps are better too ,bigger rollers - dont know ,maybe has some advantage .. but waiting for the ramps to shift - this is all marketing as it shifts instant when button pressed ,even without rear wheel installed .. about the spacer - its custom made ,and i picked the width so i can change the wheels without microadjust every time
@@alexanderivanov6920 I hear you, thanks for sharing.
@@alexanderivanov6920 And BTW this is how we slice through the SRAM marketing propaganda lol
People keep mixing parts that really do not work CORRECTLY together. Then, they have problems and wonder why or criticize the system they are using. Wake up folks! Do it right, or don't bother.
Its working with Shimano M8100 cassette - ruclips.net/user/shortsbRq0_otSkT8?si=qsYTJpKSGlIQgLoA
The wheel will spin, the chain will stay on the cassette, yes. But similar to XD driver that Micro Spline was designed pretty tight there is no 2 mm slop in the assembly for the extra 2mm spacer
@ well. How is working on video is without modification but its on limit - no possibility to make micro adjustment. After I have modified end cup - I have grinding off 1.5mm what gave me nice window for adjustment. Since April everything works very well. I am using this Shimano XT cassette because I am using it with 7 chains. I am changing chain every 600km. Cassette have currently 5700km. All chains are still OK. After I will scrap XT cassette I will instal SRAM again.
@@jaroslavruszo Thanks for sharing, interesting setup
that cassette with a spacer seems like a baaddd idea. i was never sure that those threads were enough engagement on that sram design anyway, and taking away half of those threads with a spacer is begging for something awful to happen. think of how deep the threads were on the body of a freewheel hub. and those were often 13-24 on a road bike!
I don't recommend it either. It's just for showing that it can fit, not that it's a good idea.
I asked Absolute Black if they are going to make a Transmission chain ring for Race Face Cinch.
The reply I got was :
''unfortunately yes there are no plans for adding that setup. Sorry for the bad news there.''
I don't know why they don't offer that. Maybe they don't see an market for it yet.
First I asked if the Cinch Narrow Wide was compatible, I suspected it wasn't but here is the answer:
'', Hi there. unfortunately that ring is not compatible with sram flattop chains. Sorry for the bad news there. ''
Oh man, you are ruining SRAM's insatiable desire for unreasonable excessive profits with all these potential hacks! Joke aside, thanks for the review!
Challenge accepted😊
This is all fine and dandy and I’m not being a jerk but if you look at the new transmissions, they designed to work under load with all these modifications and going to cheap man route you’re going to destroy something…😂 I can shift going uphill under full load and it’s very smooth I would not try this mixing hardware.. also why are you risking your warranty on anything really. I don’t know. I just seem to think that things are designed to work the way that they’re designed to work.
I've been trying things like this for the last 6 years or so, check my older videos on 12 speed. One is here - GX AXS install (with a twist) - ruclips.net/video/_V83_bMeHgQ/видео.html
I do not suggest anyone doing it but you see in the comments that a lot of people try it.
Nope! thats all I needed! I will now be looking for the bashguard chainring for me bike! Yes, I have bashed my regular chainring plenty!
You look like normal Macdonald
non t type chainring will split the T type chain. don't mix it!.
Proof or just saying it? 🙄
I'm not trying any of this personally since I'll avoid T-type like plague but it's very interesting to know 😊
@@LawrenceMacMacster I hear you 😎
Why? The T Type works so much better than AXS (XX1) shifting under load. Depends on your riding type - I, for instance fight day to day for XC KOM's.
@@systemsbroken because we have Shimano 12s? 😇
@@LoveMTB exactly 💯
Most of these are dumb, no benefit to running these combinations. But in an offhand 5 second comment you said the most important thing without knowing it; that unfortunately you can’t use a Transmission cassette with UDH. If you could then a X01 mechanical could be run with Transmission cassette and chain. The cassette/chain interface is what makes Transmission shift so well.
You can sand 2.5mm off the inside face of the UDH (from the portions that don't contact anything anyways). That creates enough clearance for the transmission small cog & chain. Just did this, works great!
@@emailsucks98 you mention it works great. I read in some places that the mechanical derailleur movement during shifting does not align very well with the t-type cassette gear spacing. what's you experience?
